While things have calmed down on the calving front with fewer than 30 cows left to calve, the weather has made life difficult. 

The ground is taking a beating and is a soggy mess, but cows are still getting out for a few hours after each milking and back into the shed to the feed rail to keep them topped up. There is an extra bit of work with the back fencing and often two strip fences being put up, but it's worth the extra effort to keep the ladies happy and out to grass.
